Definitions
- Fuel such as gasoline, diesel fuel and the like is seriously impaired if water becomes admixed with it. That is, most uses of fuel such as gasoline, diesel fuel and so forth, such as in internal combustion engines, are very seriously affected by the presence of water in the fuel.
- First of course, water is not combustible, and, therefore, subtracts from the energy value available from a given quantity of fuel.
- Second water freezes easily and can block fuel lines in cold environments.
- Third, water tends to carry with it contaminants and more readily reacts with metals to form rust. For these and other reasons, it is very important that in order to preserve high fuel quality, that water be prevented from traveling in a fuel flow system.
- a known expedient to intercept water in a fuel system is to provide a filter media of the type which permits fuel, such as gasoline, diesel fuel or the like to pass therethrough, but which resists the passage of water.
- Filters of this type include hydrophilic materials which absorb and expand in the presence of water, but which are not olefinic, that is, which do not absorb hydrocarbons. This type of filter media is useful in blocking the flow of water since the absorption and expansion can serve to close the filter media against the passage of fluid therethrough.
- a water absorbent filter media alone as a means of preventing the passage of water in a fuel flow system, however, is not sufficiently dependable. Instead, it is highly desirable that in a fuel flow filtering system a positive shut-off be provided so that when sufficient water is detected in a fuel flow system, such as by water absorbent fuel media swelling or otherwise reacting to resist the further fluid flow therethrough, a positive, mechanical type shut-off be obtained.
- US-A-4,485,011 to Cole et al discloses a type of shut-off valve in conjunction with a fuel filter arrangement.
- a ball is maintained in position when the pressure drop across a filter media is below a certain level, but is displaced when the pressure drop increases, such as occurs when the filter media absorbs water. The ball is then passed to a valve closure position to stop further fluid flow through the filter.
- the present disclosure is directed towards an improvement in the basic concept of US-A-4,485,011.
- this disclosure provides a structure for controlling the position of a shut-off ball within a fuel filter. Therefore, this disclosure provides a fuel filter having improved means of preventing water and particulate contaminant from passing therethrough.
- the filter includes a cannister having a closed and an opened end.
- a plate is secured to the open end.
- the plate has a threaded central fluid outlet opening therein and fluid inlet openings which are spaced circumferentially about the outlet opening.
- a rigid tubular fluid impervious member, formed of stiff material such as aluminum, plastic or the like is positioned within the cannister. The tubular member first end is affixed in sealed relationship with the plate so as to provide closed communication with the fluid outlet opening in the plate.
- a flexible filter media is secured circumferentially around the outer tubular surface of the rigid tubular member. Fuel flows into the cannister through the fuel inlet openings. The fuel flows through the filter media and into the pervious rigid tubular member and out the top of the tubular member through the plate fluid outlet opening.
- the filter media serves to entrap particulate matter, and, in addition, the filter media used in the filter of this disclosure has the characteristics of entrapping water to thereby resist the flow of water through the filter. Further, the filter media is such that as water is entrapped further flow of all fluids through the filter media is resisted. It can be seen that as water is trapped, the pressure drop required to force fluid through the filter media increases at a rate directly proportional to the quantity of water intercepted by the filter media.
- a first washer having an opening therethrough is concentrically affixed to the end of the tubular member opposite the end connected with the plate fluid outlet.
- a ball Positioned below this washer member, that is, in a direction opposite the fluid outlet, is a ball, preferably formed of a plastic material. The ball is held in close proximity or in normal engagement with the washer so as to prevent fluid flow from the interior of the cannister through the washer to the interior of the tubular member.
- the washer is of thin deformable material, preferably aluminum.
- An annular seat member is supported in the cannister in closed communication with the plate fluid outlet opening and in communication with the end of the tubular member at the fluid outlet opening.
- a second washer is provided below the annular seat, that is, in the direction away from the fluid outlet opening.
- the second washer like the first, has a large diameter opening therethrough, the diameter being less than the external diameter of the ball.
- the second washer is also deformable and is designed to be deformed to permit the ball to pass through upon the existence of sufficient pressure differential across the ball.
- a significant improvement of the present invention is the relationship between the second washer and the annular seat.
- the deflection of the second washer to permit the ball passing therethrough serves to retain the ball in position substantially contiguous with the annular seat.
- Figure 1 is a cross-sectional view of a filter for use in a fluid delivery system wherein fuel flows through the filter for removal of solid contaminant and water.
- Figure 1 shows a filter in the normal fluid flow arrangement wherein hydrocarbon fuel freely passes through the filter media.
- FIG 2 is an external view of the fuel filter as in Figure 1 but showing the status of the filter in an intermediate stage wherein the filter media has intercepted water to the extent that a significant pressure differential has developed across the filter media causing the shut-off ball to enter into the central tubular member and to position itself against a second washer member within the filter.
- Figure 3 shows a filter of this disclosure in cross- section as in Figures 1 and 2, but showing the ball in seated engagement with the seat, the ball being retained in such position by the deformed second washer member.
- Figure 4 is a top view shown partially cut away of the filters of Figures 1, 2 and 3, to show additional features of the filter.
- Figure 5 is an enlarged view of the ball and first washer members showing how the ball is held in position wherein a predetermined pressure differential will cause the ball to de form the washer members, and pass, into the interior of the rigid tubular pervious member.
- Figure 6 is a partial cross-sectional view taken along the lines 6-6 of Figure 3 showing the ball in closed position against the annular seat and restrained in such position by the deflected second washer member.
- the filter includes a cannister 10 having an upper open end 12 and a closed bottom end 14. Closing the upper end 12 is a plate 16 which has a central threaded fluid outlet opening 18. Concentrically surrounding the fluid outlet opening 18 and spaced from it are a plurality of fluid inlet openings 20.
- a rigid tubular fluid pervious member 22 Positioned within the cannister is a rigid tubular fluid pervious member 22 which may be formed of stiff material, such as aluminum or other metal.
- the rigid tubular member 22 is fluid pervious, that is it has a plurality of small diameter openings therein as illustrated.
- the upper end 24 is in sealed engagement with fluid outlet opening 18 in plate 16. This sealed engagement is accomplished by means of an annular seal member 26.
- the lower end 28 receives first and second washer members 30 and 32.
- These washer members best seen in the enlarged fragmentary view of Figure 5, each include a large opening therethrough indicated by the numerals 30A and 32A, respectively.
- a compression spring 34 urges washers 30 and 32 and the rigid tubular member 22 in a direction towards plate 16.
- filter media 36 Surrounding the external circumferential surface of the tubular rigid member 22 is filter media 36.
- This filter media may be in the form of a plate of relatively thin filter media pleated as shown in Figure 4 or it may consist of several circumferential wraps of filter media.
- the filter media 36 is of the type which freely permits the flow of hydrocarbon fuel therethrough, but which intercepts solid particulate matter and water. The method of interception of water varies with different kinds of filter media.
- One type of water absorbing filter media is illustrated and described in detail in
- a second washer member 38 Positioned adjacent the tubular upper member 24 and adjacent the seal member 26 is a second washer member 38.
- This second washer member like the first washer members 30 and 32 described, is of deformable material, such as relatively thin aluminum or other material having similar characteristics.
- the second washer member 38 has an opening 38A which is of a selected internal diameter.
- a ball or sphere 40 Positioned in the filter exteriorly of the tubular rigid member 22 and below the first and second washer members 30 and 32 is a ball or sphere 40.
- the ball 40 is preferably made of a plastic material.
- the external diameter of ball 40 is greater than the normal internal diameter of openings 30A and 32A in washers 30 and 32 and of opening 38A and washer 38.
- the preselected pressure differential across the filter which will cause ball 40 to deflect washers 30 and 32 can be predetermined in several ways.
- the thicknesses of the washers, the diameter of the openings 30A and 32A, the diameter of ball 40 and the rigidity of the materials of which the washers are made affect the required differential pressure necessary to force the ball through the washers.
- the required fluid pressure can be more finally selected by predeforming washers 30 and 32. This is accomplished during assembly as shown in Figure 5 by physically forcing the ball 40 partially through washer 30 and 32.
